"The company launched its new Sora app for iOS on September 30th, giving users the ability to scroll through a feed of AI-generated videos, as well as create ones of their own using OpenAI's new Sora 2 model. It also lets users insert the likeness of themselves or a friend into an AI video with a "cameos" feature. My colleague Hayden Field found that the app is filled with memes, OpenAI employees deepfaking themselves, and what can only be described as AI-generated slop."
"OpenAI's social AI video-generating app, Sora, has reached over 1 million downloads in fewer than five days since its launch. That's according to Sora head Bill Peebles, who said on Wednesday that Sora racked up downloads faster than ChatGPT did at launch despite being an invite-only app. The Sora app is only available in the US and Canada for now, and currently sits at the top of Apple's App Store."
OpenAI launched the Sora iOS app on September 30, offering a scrollable feed of AI-generated videos and creation tools powered by the Sora 2 model. The app includes a "cameos" feature that lets users insert their own or friends' likenesses into videos. Sora reached over 1 million downloads in under five days and reportedly outpaced ChatGPT's launch downloads despite being invite-only. Early content includes memes, employees deepfaking themselves, and low-quality AI-generated material. Backlash arose from users generating copyrighted characters, prompting OpenAI to give rights holders more control and add options to specify likeness use. OpenAI plans fixes for overmoderation. Sora is currently available only in the US and Canada and ranks atop Apple's App Store.
